MEMBER OF OLD 15TH REGIMENT BACK FROM THE FRONT $100,000 FUND TO COMBAT LYNCHING IN UNITED STATES THE NEW YORK AGE IS CLEAN. ONCE IT BECOMES A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY IT IS ALWAYS LOOKED FOR AND WELCOME. VOL. XXXI. NO. 47. Publishers of the San Antonio "Express" Set Aside Sum for 5 Years. METHOD OF REWARDS Paper will Pay $1,000 Reward to Person Giving Information Leading Up To Arrest and Conviction of Culprit When Victim Is a Colored Person and $500 Reward will be Given When Victim Is a White Person—Says "Lynching Must No Longer Go Unpunished." (Special to THE NEW YORK ADR.) San Antonio, Tex.—The publisher of the San Antonio Express, which is one of the most influential newspapers in the South, have set aside an anti-lynching fund of $100,000, to be used in combatting the crime of lynching in the United States. A feature of this remarkable move to pump out mob law in this country is to award a reward of $500 will be paid to each person who shall be directly responsible for the arrest, with subsequent conviction and punishment, of any person of persons who were instrumental in arousing a mob to commit a lynching, or in putting through the lynching itself, when the victim is a person, but if the person lynched enrolded a reward of $1,000 will be It is explained that the difference in amounts of reward, as between the washing of colored people and white people is due to the fact that a large majority of the crimes of lynching have been colored victims, and that for this reason the larger reward and more urgent measures should be applied to be more prolific phase of this evil. The publishers of the San Antonio Express made the following announcement with reference to the paper's antiphishing fund: Speaks Out for Law and Order. The publishers of the San Antonio Express have established and set aside a fund of $100,000 to be used in combatting the crime of lynching in this country; thereby to aid in stamping out the lawlessness and violence of the mob. At the latest meeting of the stockholders of the Express Publishing Company, August I, it was determined to devote this sum of money to the purpose of rewarding persons who shall be directly responsible for the arrest and conviction of those who incite riots and inombreaks that result in incidences, and of those who perceive the lynching crime itself. It was the earnest, expressed opinion of every member of the巌holding body at the meeting that the irremediable injustices, the treatment and degradation worked by a game that invariably exhibits a concern for law and order, and a concern for the decent systems of courts and law enforcement, must be brought to an end throughout the United States. Lunching must no longer go unplanned or lightly punished, in any state or district of this Nation. The and lunching fund of the San Antonio Express will be employed in this manner. A reward of $500 will be paid to each person who shall be directly responsible for the arrest, with subsequent conviction and punishment, of any person or persons who were instrumental in arousing a mob to commit a lynching, or in putting through the lynching itself, when the individual lynched was a Negro. A reward of $1,000 will be paid to each person who shall be directly responsible for the arrest, with subsequent conviction and punishment, of any person or persons who were instrumental in arousing a mob to commit a lynching or in putting through the lynching itself, when the individual was a Negro. Fund Now in Effect: This fund of $100,000, and the offer of reward thereunder, will be maintained and in effect for a period of five years from August 1, 1918. The system of rewards will apply to any and every crime of lynchment committed within the bounds of Continental United States—that is, intensive of the American possessions of Porto Rico, Hawaii, the Philippine Islands, the Panama Zone, etc. The New York Age private citizens—persons of either sex—or to peace officers of whatever class: Sheriffs, their deputies and possemen; Constables and their deputies; United States Marshals, their deputies and possemen; city or State police, Rangers, etc.; officers and men of the organized military forces, or National Guard, of the several States; and to any and all other persons who may not be debarred legally from the acceptance of a reward for this character of law enforcement. Five hundred dollars is fixed as the reward for directly bringing about the arrest, conviction and punishment of a person or persons guilty of lynching an individual other than a Negro, and $1,000 is fixed as the reward in the case of lynching of a Negro, for this reason: A heavy majority of the crimes of lynching in this country have Negroes as their victims. Therefore, the larger reward and the more stringent measures should be applied to the more prolific phase of this hideous evil of lynching. Special to THE NEW YORK ACK Philadelphia, Pa. — Policeman Robert Ramsey of the Twentieth and Federal Streets Station, has been committed without bail for his appearance before the coroner to answer the charge of homicide in having shot and killed Riley Bullock, colored, of 2232 Annin street, in front of the police station on July 29. Detective Belshaw said Bullock was being taken up the steps of the police station while under arrest on the charge of participating in the downtown race riots when Ramsey's revolver was discharged and Bullock was shot in the back. In view of the fact there was a dispute whether the shooting was intentional or accidental, Detective Belshaw said it was necessary for the Coroner to take action. 5.000 RECRUITS NOW Special to THE NEW YORK ACK PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-Major William Judkins, United States Army, has been sojourning at the Bellevue-Stratford, the new $2,000,000 hotel, for several days. While in the rotunda of the hotel he had occasion to speak of our soldiers, and among other things he said: "We have more than 5,000 Negro recruits now in Camp Sherman, and thousands have been constantly made into good soldiers there and transcribed to other stations. We shall shortly increase the number to 10,000. The detachment going from Philadelphia represents a splendid example of physical manhood. The Negro soldiers become interested in their work and so imbued with the military spirit that they continue their drills upon their own initiative, selecting drill masters among themselves and take the keenest pleasure in exhibiting to white others and soldiers their proficiency in the manual of arms. I was engaged in the recruiting in the South of the 802nd Pioneer Infantry, a Negro signal battalion, and I was surprised at the large number of college graduates who volunteered I predict that this battalion will be heard from during the war with credit and pride to the race." NEW JERSEY WOMEN TO SUPPLY SOLDIERS' BAGS (Special to THE NEW YORK AGEN) NEWARK, N. J.-The executive committee of the New Jersey Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, met in the Negro Welfare Building, Newark, last Tuesday) afternoon. Representatives were present from Jersey City, Newark, Summit, Roseville, Plainfield and Orange. The Rev.

Archie Niblack of the Old 15th Home After Fight with the Germans. WOUNDED IN 'NO MAN'S LAND' Col. Hayward Praised by Sergt. Niblack, Who Says Regimental Commander Could Not Treat His Men Better—Speaks Highly of American Red Cross. Members of the old 15th had a lively encounter with the Hun in "No Man's Land" before that memorable occasion when Private Henry Johnson and Private Needham Roberts put to flight a score or more of Germans. The bayonet wounds which Sergt. Archie Niblack of Company K, 369th Infantry, is carrying out will bear out this assertion. Sergt. Niblack is in the city visiting his wife, who resides at 2322 Seventh avenue. He is on a furlough from the General Hospital at Ft. McPherson, Ga., where he has been receiving medical attention for several weeks. Sergt. Archie Niblack is the first member of the old 15th to walk about in Harlem since his regiment landed in France. He is a resident of Manhattan Isle and his homecoming has created a small sensation among his many friends and acquaintances There are several thousand men in the 369th, and yet Sergt. Niblack is expected to tell their relatives and friends how each and every member of the regiment is getting along. Of course, this is an impossibility, but the sergeant does the best he can. Sergt Niblack was wounded in "No Man's Land" while a member of a scouting party in May. Although the Hun bayoneted him in the abdomen, wounding him severely, it can be said that this particular member of the Kaiser's Army has been permanently relieved from further military service His comrades now speak of him in the past tense. After being treated at a French Hospital for several weeks Sergt. Niblack was transferred overseas to the General Hospital at It. McPherson, Ga. He was granted permission to come to New York to see his wife, and to say that it is a pleasure to walk down 135th street one mile is putting if mildly. Prince for Hayward. Sergt Niblack is profuse in his praise of Colonel Hawward's treatment of his men, and says Capt Hamilton Fish, Ir. is loved by every man of Company K.

(Continued on page two) "COLOR LINE" TIGHTLY DRAWN AT CAMP DIX, DRAFTEES ASSERT; AN INVESTIGATION TO BE ASKED THE GUARDIAN FORTY YEARS IN THE CATHOLIC PRIESTHOOD On Sunday, August 4, in St. Benedict's Church, the Rt. Rev. Mgr. John E. Burke held the fortiest anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood in the Roman Catholic Church. Thirty-five of these years have been spent in working for the colored people, first as the founder and pastor of the church of St. Benedict the Moor and then as secretary-general of the Board for Missionary Activities. In this latter office, which he has filled for eleven years, it has been his duty to go through the Northern states collecting money from church to church, and between times to visit the field in the Southern states and establish schools and churches wherever the need for them might appear. He came back to his own church to celebrate the day, which celebration however by his emphatic orders was very simple indeed. He said a low mass at 10 o'clock, at which the children's choir sang some of his favorite hymns. The church was packed not only by the members of St Benedict's congregation but also by friends from all parts of the city, who had heard the rumor about his being present. In the upper church no reference was made to the event of the day except what was contained in a few words during the sermon, when Mgr Burke thanked the people for having come to facilitate him and begged them to pray for the success of his labors on the Colored Missions. Afterwards in the hall down stairs a most enjoyable hour was passed in general conversation and well wish. The coming of the fortieth anniversary had been known and under consideration for man months. Some were planning a big formal celebration but before these plans had taken any shape COLORED AME ment which knowledge they have proved all cooked hat. He we have no formality, would let it to congratulatory speeches and would serve no gift of any kind whatsoever. However one thing he would accept, for himself but for the missions among the colored people, and that was donations in money, large one or small one checks, thirty Bonds, greenbacks, silver, nickel or copper as long as they were given for the schools of the South. So the idea suggested itself that a fund of forty thousand dollars might be collected for this purpose, and innately contributions began coming in from all over the country and kept on coming till at present there is every confidence that in a very short time there will be in hand a thousand dollars for every one of the forty years. St Benedict's people, led by that ever faithful and efficient society, the Mission Helpers Association, got busy with their collection hooks and worked so zealously that on that Sunday morning they were able to hand Mgr. Burke $1,100 to be added to the fund, which he has faci-ously called the "Ruby Fund." The annual session of the National Negro Business League will be held at Atlantic City, N. J., from August 21 to 23, inclusive. Special to TIX New York Agr. Camp Dix, N. J.—Complaint is made by colored draftees from New York and New Jersey that various forms of race discrimination are being practiced at Camp Dix. Radical Southern customs are being religiously observed in this Eastern cantonment, it is charged, and little effort made to promote good-fellowship between the white and colored soldiers. Camp Dix, N. J.—Complaint New York and New Jersey that tion are being practiced at Camp are being religiously observed charged, and little effort made to the white and colored soldiers. Colored rookies from New York and other Eastern points who are not used to "Jim Crowism" declare that prejudice on account of race and color is rampant here. Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, is to be called on to use his influence to make the cantonment a more democratic institution. Numerous incidents have been recited to substantiate charges made by Eastern drafted men that a well-organized effort is being made to segregate the colored men. When colored draftees from the North are sent to Southern camps they are told to adhere to Southern customs. Now to their chagrin they find that Eastern customs have been discarded for Southern customs in an Eastern cantonment. "Jim Crowed" at Ball Gamas. A ball game was played several afternoons ago between a white and a colored team at Camp Dix. Colored men from New York who, all their lives, have been sitting in any and every section of the grandstand they desired, were surprised to learn that the white soldiers were seated in one section and the colored soldiers in another. Higher as to why soldiers in uniform should be segregated brought forth the explanation: that this plan of seating was adopted in order to prevent trouble between the races When the New York draffed men went to Camp Dix many for the first time in their lives saw a "Jim Crow" sign On Cafeteria No. 2, which is used as a mustering in station, the sum for White Men" met their gaze Although the War Department has allowed the objection term "mugger" be taken from the Army, "mugger," "soon" and "darkey" are not infrequently heard A few days after AMERICAN TROOPERS "C" Referred to as "Darkies."

During the stay of the 367th Infantry at Camp Upton the best of feeling existed between white and colored soldiers. While the old 15th from New York was at Camp Dix there was no "Jim Crowning" and up to the time the colored artillery regiments left Camp Dix for France there were no such drawing the color line as now resorted to here. It is rumored that the few colored officers remaining there are to be trans- ferred to other cantonments, and that The New York Age IS RELIABLE. WHEN YOU SEE IT IN 'THE AGE' YOU CAN DEPEND UPON IT.

LEGISLATURE Special to THE NEW YORK ACK Charleston, W. Va.—In the State-wide primary, held Tuesday of last week, three colored men were nominated on the Republican ticket in as many counties for member of the House of Delegates, the lower branch of the legislature. The nominees were: J. V. Coleman, Kimberly, Fayette County; Harry J. Capehart, Keystone, McDowell County, and T. G. Nutter, Charleston, Kanawha County. Legislative candidates, in fact, members of that branch of the State government, are not novelties in West Virginia few terms having passed in the last twenty years without race representation.

Nutter, a attorney at law, former Grand Exalted Counsel of the Elks and Grand Chancellor of the Knights and Pythians. Of the six nominated from among fourteen candidates, Nutter was third. Mr. Capehart is also an attorney and, coming, as he does, from a rockied Republican county, is most certain of election. The other nominee, Mr. Coleman, is a laboring man, having worked in various capacities around coal mines all his life. He was second of the four winners among six candidates. The colored population in none of these counties is one-sixth of the whole, that of Kanawha being only about one-tenth. 5.000 CAMP UPTON DRAFTEES REVIEWED Special to The New York App CAMP UPTON, N. Y.—Contrary to reports given out some weeks ago, several thousand colored draftees have been sent to Camp Upton recently. Tuesday afternoon Lieut. Col. Cyrus Adolph reviewed 5,000 uniformed colored draftees who have been here only two weeks.

Monk Sailors Storm Negro Church tion Innocent colored men, seeking relief from torrish heat in the parks and public squares, are just as much entitled to protection and respect as are the uniforms of the nation's defenders. This entire community is disgraced by these outbreaks of racial antagonism and by the misunderstanding this far delayed by those in authority to the underlying causes of the disorders which have taken place. Unless strict measures to deal with those who may be found guilty shall be taken and others serious attention shall be given to the fundamental problems of housing that underlie the trouble, such antagonism undoubtedly will break out afresh and far more serious consequences will follow.

Whitman will be renominated" by the Republicans to continue his good work as Governor of the Empire State during the War, and that the voters will re-elect him at the polls. New York State has been fortunate in possessing an executive of the calibre of Governor Whitman during the various emergencies gowing out of the war. His treatment of all questions has been prompt, decisive and adequate. Impartial and square treatment has been meted out to conflicting interests. No bias on the ground of race or color has been permitted to go unchecked, or even to obtain a foothold in State affairs. The Negro has been enrolled as an integral part of the defensive forces of the State on the same basis as any other element of its citizenship. The services of the race have been called upon and made available to the best advantage in the war activities. Needful legislation to confirm the equal rights guaranteed the race under the constitution has received gubernatorial sanction and the proper laws put upon the statute book. Governor Whitman should be continued in office for another term. A PUBLIC SERVICE PUZZLE A PUBLIC SERVICE PUZZLE One of the puzzling conditions in a cosmopolitan city like New York is the persistence of color exclusion in various branches of public service. Especially is this marked in the transportation service, where so many thousand workers are employed on the subway, surface and elevated lines. The prerequisite to employment in any grade beyond that of porter or cleaner seems to be a white face. Yet inconsistently enough those porters and cleaners of darker hue are frequently seen acting as ticket choppers, temporarily occupying the high chairs and pumping the box hammers with the nonchalance of the regulars on the job. Even with the scarcity of man power sufficient to furnish conductors and guards for surface trolleys and subways, there seems no disposition to resort to the employment of others than those of white complexion. Half-grown boys and immature girls have been put at tasks beyond their normal strength to maintain the VIEWS and REVIEWS this transportation service. Is there any good and sufficient reason for this exclusion of the Negro from such positions as conductors, motormen, guards and any place above that of porter? Is his exclusion due to the opposition of the traveling public, the railway employees or the supreme power that rules the board of directors and orders the rising and setting of the Subway Sun? One of our readers in Newark recently sent us some correspondence which he had had with Mr. Ochs, owner of the New York Times, relative to the policy of that great paper in always printing the word "Negro" with a small "n." Our correspondent wrote to Mr. Ochs complaining of this policy of The Times and received the following letter in reply: No adequate objection would seem possible from either of these sources. It is notorious that transit conditions are bad in all the boroughs and steadily growing worse, owing to the scarcity of competent employees. Mr. Ochs has asked me to acknowledge your letter presenting arguments for spelling the word "Negro" with a capital letter. The question has often been discussed. Generally the small letter is used in newspapers. From our point of view, the capitalization of the word would tend to accentuate a separateness of the colored portion of the population. That is just what we should avoid, is it not? Our view is that we should no more capitalize "negro" than "white." It would be calling special attention to the hue of a man's skin, accentuating a difference among Americans of different colors. The public is indifferent to the color of the conductor or motorman, so long as it is carried to its destination with safety and dispatch. The color of the hand that takes the nickel or chops the ticket is immaterial, so long as the increment goes into the company offices. "Step lively!" or "Watch your step!" could be enunciated as urbanely and maybe musically by guards of another color than those now leaving their jobs. What then is the reason why such service is denied to Negroes? It is hard to believe that this letter is from the Sunday Editor of the New York Times. We would not expect a letter of such weak reasoning from a backward child. In the first place, it brings a smile that hurts our face to think of the editorial staff of The Times delicately considering not to do anything that would "tend to accentuate a separateness of the colored portion of the population." In the second place, any ten year old boy ought to be able to see the fallacy of the grammatical reason that is usually given in support of using the small "n" in "Negro." The argument is that the word "Negro" is an adjective, and adjectives are not written with capital letters. This argument entirely ignores the fact that words in a living language have no fixed value or meaning. Many words are born and go through various changes in meaning; often they absolutely die; and sometimes they are reborn with still a different shade of meaning. For example, several centuries ago the word "wench" was a perfectly proper term to be applied to a woman, especially if she was a servant; but let any lady now apply the term to her cook, and she will have a fight on hand or the job of looking for another cook or both. There are also words that are born as outcasts, but finally acquire good standing in a language; the classic example in the American language is the word "blizzard." The same questions apply to other public utilities, such as the telephone system, the gas service, telegraph service and similar work. The widespread employment of men and women of Negro extraction in the postal service has demonstrated their capacity and efficiency for public service in other roles than cleaners or porters. There is no sufficient reason why this same class of workers should not be called upon to fill the existing gaps in the local transportation service and other public utilities. This argument also ignores the fact that there are two kinds of grammar—grammatical grammar and logical grammar. Grammatical grammar rules that a singular subject must take a verb in the singular; but we may say, "The committee has decided thus and so." The use of a singular or plural verb depends upon whether we are thinking of the committee as a single body or as made up of several individuals. Grammarians, who write the rules, are always trying to establish grammatical grammar, to give words a fixed and unchangeable status, but the people, who use the language, are constantly overriding the grammarians and establishing logical grammar; that is, giving to words the status and meaning which they have come to have through use. SOUTHERN CONVERTS. Just about. one year ago the Law and Order Conference started its missionary labors by a meeting at Blue Ridge, N. C., at which was inaugurated its campaign against lynching and other forms of mob violence. Some fifty prominent Southerners, mostly white, participated in this movement, and the seed then sown has not been without some effect. We all know that philological research will show that the word "Negro" was originally an adjective meaning black. This is especially true of the Latin languages; for example in Spanish, un hombre negro means a black man, and un caballo negro means a black horse. But logical grammar and just a little plain, common sense tells us that when the word "Negro" is used not to qualify, but to denominate a race of people it is no longer an adjective, it is a proper name and should be written with a capital letter. The Sunday Editor of The Times says: "Our view is that we should no more capitalize "negro" than "white." It would be calling special attention to the hue of a man's skin, accentuating a difference among Americans of different colors." It seems here that he has the whole thing backwards. When he writes the word "negro" with a small letter it is an adjective and means black. When he writes the word "Negro" with a capital letter it is not an adjective, it is a proper name and does not necessarily mean black. So there is less danger of calling special attention to the hue of a man's skin in writing "Negro" than in writing "negro." While the practice of lynching has not abated, in fact an increase has been recorded in certain States, there has been a perceptible appreciation of the dangerous tendencies thus allowed to run riot and a growing spirit of protest against it in the Southern white papers and by leading white citizens of that section. The history and growth of the use of the word "Negro" is somewhat curious. For a good many years the more advanced elements of the race objected to the term, and there are still many that object to it. We frankly admit that there are grounds for their objection. The growth of the use of the word is due mainly to two things; the fact that some years ago certain race leaders determined to redeem the word, and to the fact that it is a shorter word than "colored" and so fits better in the headlines. The headline writer can make a display in bigger type when he says, "NEGRO BURNED AT THE STAKE" than he could by saying, "COLORED MAN BURNED AT THE STAKE." The headline writer has, perhaps, done more to make the word general than anybody else. From time to time The Age has reprinted expressions of this character, believing that the slow but steady growth of anti-lynching sentiment in the South is one of the most hopeful symptoms of the situation. No sudden change or violent revulsion of feeling is to be expected, but the gradual establishment of a well grounded respect for law and order may be built up through this means. Of course, there arises a question as to the wisdom of adopting a name that needed to be "redeemed." Why name a boy Benedict Arnold when he could be as easily named George Washington? Nor can it be helped but noticed that white people themselves, when they wish to speak softly to and about the race use the adjective "colored." The Sunday Editor of The Times does it in his letter. It must also be admitted that the term, "The Negro" sets us off absolutely. So far as names go, at least, it would be much easier to go from "colored American" to "American citizen" than from "The Negro" to "American citizen." In fact, it may be said that so long as the race is exclusively known as "The Negro" it will not be a full participant in American democracy. One of the most significant arguments employed by the antilynching advocates is the ground taken, by the Memphis Commercial Appeal in the title of an editorial, namely: "Lynchings Most Helpful to the Prussians." A leading white attorney of Mississippi endorses this statement as right and winds up a forceful letter with the following appeal to his fellow citizens of the South: But the race leaders who adopted "Negro" to redeem it had their good reasons. We are a separate people with needs different from the rest of the population; so the men who had to talk and be held up to the ridiculous position of preaching one thing and doing another This is sane and sensible doctrine and we welcome each new enunciation of it by the white leaders of the South. May the number preaching it increase, as such doctrine is in need of innumerable messengers to carry it where it is most needed. Let's stop at this law violation, lets avoid doing the things that' we accuse the Prussians of doing, and then when we go out among the Negroes of our community we will go with clean hands, and not write for the race felt the need of some concrete term; they could not be continually writing in adjectival phrases. Other race names were tried, "Afro-American," "Ethio-American," etc., but they were all found too clumsy. So "Negro" has come to be the race name used generally by the writers and newspaper men of the race; and whatever objections there may be to it, it is the best concrete term for the race that has yet been found. But what's in a name? Our condition is the main thing to be changed; the name will take care of itself. However, we do insist that sticklers, for grammatical grammar and others recognize that the word "Negro" when used to designate a race, is not an adjective, but a proper name; and should be written with a capital letter. STRAINING AT A GNAT. The Northwestern Christian Advocate, published at Chicago by the Methodist church, recently commented on the moral gains and losses occasioned by the war. Among the moral war-gains it mentioned the tremendous impetus toward prohibition, and the fact that hundreds of thousands of young men had been brought under the rule of a clean physical life. These young men have had the benefit of straight talks from physicians and Y. M. C. A. leaders, and, besides, camp life has imposed upon them the law of discipline and restraint: The Northwestern Christian Advocate notes on the other hand what it considers to be moral war-losses. It dwells particularly on the extensive use of tobacco in the army and the popularity of prize-fighting at the camps. On these two "moral losses" it says: "Take the matter of tobacco, particularly cigarettes. Just previous to the war the fight on that insidious and destructive enemy of youth had progressed to the point of prohibition in certain States. Churches, without exception, opposed the use of cigarettes, and the appellation 'toffin-nail' was fastened upon it with more of earnest than jest. "But suddenly the current of opposition seemed dried up; the friends of the cigarettes multiplied; newspapers, magazines, bill-boards, and movie-screens were flooded with the most enticing advertisements; the Red Cross gave its blessing; other soldiers' aid societies were won over, and not a few ministers of the gospel either openly espoused the traffic or encouraged it by a policy of silence. At last the Government has officially recognized the cigarette as a regular feature of the soldier's equipment. For the present victory favors the Tobacco Trust. "Another breakdown in the line of moral resistance is in the pugilistic sector. Prize-fighting has been practically driven from the United States. The frown of public opinion had been effectual, and fist-fighting was all but thrown on the discard. But what have we now?" "Every prize-fighter in the land is working overtime. The 'kids,' the 'Mikes,' and the 'Petes' have sprung into popular favor. Prizefights (boxing-bouts, they call them), are staged at nearly all the camps, with a 'kid' as a master of ceremonies. The other day a huge truck was transformed into a prize-fight ring, and for days was moved slowly through the crowded loop district of Chicago advertising a 'boxing-match' to be given at Camp Grant, July 4. Professional boxers, stripped for the fray, engaged in contests along the street. Thus, before hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children was the spectacle of violent boxing-by-rounds, a replica of the prize-ring. On one of these occasions a priest chaplain acted as referee. As the truck stood near the city hall, he delivered a scathing rebuke to those who oppose or even criticize the game, his remarks being directed particularly toward the Mayor's ear." Concerning tobacco in general and cigarettes in particular, The Advocate is too serious. It speaks of the cigarette as "that insidious and destructive enemy of youth," but is that statement really true? Is it in any considerable degree true that the use of tobacco is as harmful as its opponents declare it to be? We do not think it is. Furthermore, it is our opinion that these overstatements do not help very much in the crusade against tobacco. When, for example, a teacher tells a boy in school that smoking is a dirty, filthy habit, and that no gentleman will use tobacco, and the boy goes out and sees his father and most of the prominent men of the town smoking, it may arouse a question in his mind as to whether he really wants to be a "gentleman" or, at least, serious doubts as to his teacher's veracity. Of course, the use of tobacco has harmed many individuals; that is, the excessive use of tobacco; and for some individuals the smoking of one cigar would be an excess. There have been boys who have had their physical and mental-growth blighted by the excessive use of tobacco, and there are men who have no physical right to smoke. But that is not to be charged up against tobacco. There are individuals for whom the smoking of one strong cigar would mean death; and there are individuals for whom the eating of one hearty meal of fried beefsteak and potatoes would mean death—and a most painful death. Common observation and common sense show that the number of people who have been injured physically or mentally by the use of tobacco is infinitesimally small. However, it is likely that The Advocate takes the same attitude as St. Paul when he says: "Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no meat while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend." And so in order to save the infinitesimally few, it is fighting to prohibit tobacco to the many. Well that is the spirit of the moment, and we are willing to see how it works. At any rate, we are more patient with this attitude than we are with the attitude which tries to make of smoking one of the cardinal sins. There are lots of people in the world for whom every human act or thought is either righteous or sinful. These people are always in hot water with their consciences, and they try to keep everybody else in hot water. Such people as these, feeling that there is nothing righteous about smoking tobacco, put it down as something sinful. What they fail to realize is that there is a multitude of acts which are neither righteous nor sinful; which are, we might say, neutral. The use of tobacco falls in this neutral class; and whether an individual should not indulge in it is up to the sense and judgment of that individual. Even St. Paul recognized this large class of neutral acts, for he said: "But meat commendeth us not to God; for neither if we eat are we the better; neither if we eat not are we the worse." So much for tobacco; although we could say a great deal more in its defense. Now as to prize-fighting at the camps; it seems like straining at a gnat to raise objections to friendly bouts with padded gloves among a healthy, husky lot of young fellows whose principle object in life at this time is to learn how to kill, men with rifles and bayonets and machine guns and liquid fire and poison gas. What does The Advocate think these men are in camp for? To attend a series of Chautauqua lectures? Does it think their amusements should be croquet and authors? The vital task before the country just now is to get together an army of real soldiers; and real soldiers are fighting men. To object to boxing matches as an amusement among real soldiers is absurd. The effect of the President's letter upon white public sentiment especially throughout the South will prove impressive and wholesome. He will have the approval of all decent and right-thinking people, and the others will sit, up and take notice—Star of Zion. Such an appeal ought to bring immediate results and law-abiding citizens should supplement the words of the President, and by their words and their deeds show their disapproval of all lawlessness and encourage living and right doing—American Baptist. That this appeal may not fall deaf ears, but specially prove itself, is the delight of all liberty-lying Americans, enabling us to take our part in this universal democracy for which we are fighting, is the prayer above all others to which we say a very good AMEN!—Colorado Statesman. President Wilson has placed lyricists squarely on the side of Germany—Portland (Ore.) Advocate. His words meet with our heart approval but the recent race riot that took place in Philadelphia, Pa., on Saturday and Monday last, is a futile chance for him to use his war power to see to it that the guilty ones be legally punished according to State and Federal laws.—Providence (R. I.) Advance. It means that by the help of the mighty God this country, through this President, has frowned on this human crime and that the Federal statute will soon have on its face a law against lyricists which will encourage to lose its popularity.—Columbia (S. C.) Informer The proclamation is a timely note for Democracy. And while it does not emphasize lynching of Negroes, who read can but, see that the President is determined to let the country know that lynching in any form, of any human being, is decidedly the wrong thing. The proclamation will give the law abiding citizens every community the opportunity to atrike the monster evil, if they die. They know now the official attitude of our Chief Executive, and there is excuse for further evidences of harm on the part of officials of any community where lynchings are attempted—Pittsburgh (Pa.) Courler. President Wilson has spoken and the spoken well. The evil in his mind is the proclamation of lynching colored people in this country, tice not confined to the South, but to the entire country—Baltimore (Md.) Commonwealth. President Wilson takes his own about some things, but he gets the just the same.—Richmond (Va.) Pass- ing the bill to the Senate, he that this appeal may not go the of other speeches, is a Federal law signed to put the appeal into practical use.—St. Luke Herald. When this good news gets to the treatment of the sick, it be- more trouble for the Kaiser.—Palm (Fln.) Advocate. We accept this broad and great denunciation of the President and lawlessness as the first step toward reform in the practical workings of applications of democracy in our country—St. Louis (Mo.) Charlton. It will strengthen our hope for the triumph of democracy and strengthen the men who are going forth to battle justice and humanity.—Charleston C.) Messenger. Yes, we are gird, because the President has the ears of the people of nation. They have responded nobly every call that was made by him, we have every reason to believe they will respond to this appeal loyalty and patriotism—St. Louis (Mo.) Arrows. We hold his message with joy, because it is the message so long and badly needed, and secondly because places our President right where as the leader in a great moral beloness as the outspoken champion justice, righteousness and law through out the world.—Omaha (Nob.) Monk The Neuros of the United States now that President Wilson has spun out boldly against lynching, will now feel a new sense of urgency. He will not wait. Hereafter lynching can have no classification than as a crime against the nation, as implied in the President's letter. Of course lynching Neuros will continue for a little time, but since it has been classed as a crime against the nation as a crime against lynchers will receive Federal punishment.—Montgomery (Ala) Enamateur. Hero comes a Democrat President forward, to the glory of himself, the credit of his party and the satisfaction of the nation and says lynching is a national crime that must be stopped. Yet we have not had any federal specially against lynching that would give him any more power to act, was given by law to his predecessor. But the nation's heart is just getting right.—Calro (Ill.) Baptist Truth. RED CROSS RECOGNITION To the Editor of The New York Age Permit me to congratulate you on the successful outcome of your effort for recognition of colored women in the Red Cross. The results show that can be accomplished, by keeping continually at it. The fact that such a fight had to be waged, for a man which is nothing more than simple justice is a sad commentary on American brand of justice. Returning Good For Evil.

Interest in the tournament is at fever heat, as the date approaches and many entries have already been received from Waterbury, Conn., Washington and Baltimore. The local players have practised hard, so as to be in good form next week and there is great confidence among many of them that the prizes will remain in New York this time. From present indications, Tally Holmes, the present champion, will be unable to defend his title, as he is now in training at Camp Meade, Md. Should he be able to obtain a furlough, however, he will surprise a good many by appearing on the courts, ready to dispute the many claimants for his laurels. Washington will, however, send a worthy representative team in Wilkinson, Douglas, Smith and Harold Freeman. The two latter, it is rumored, plan to team up in doubles, and will make a fast and formidable combination. Baltimore has sent in the largest entry to date-thirteen—and included among them are such first class players as Dr. Cardozo, Ralph Reckling, R. Cook, Dr. McCard, Dr. Rhetta and Dr. Wright. Waterbury, Conn., will be well represented by Dr. Costa and his new partner, who is reputed to be "some" player. They have entered the singles and doubles. E. K. Jones, the best of the local players, is planning to leave town during that week, but if he could be induced to postpone his trip until the following week, the chances of the New York players would seem much brighter. His presence would help to inspire confidence among the home players. J. L. McGriff of Portsmouth, Va., a former Southern champion, is expected to try for National honors this year, and it will be interesting to see him once more in action. The lady champion, Miss Lucy Slowe, is not in the best of health, and there is a slight possibility that she may be among the missing. Following is the program for Tournament week in addition to the many interesting and exciting championship matches: Monday evening, informal dance at Music School Settlement; Tuesday evening, annual meeting of the American Tennis Association at the Alpha Physical Culture Club, 126 W.131st street; Friday evening, reception to visitors at Manhattan Casino; Saturday, finals in all four championship events on Ideal Courts and awarding of prizes to winners; Saturday evening annual smoker of New York Tennis Association.

Not liking the west, he returned to New Haven, where he taught at Molines, Iowa. Arriving in New Haven Thursday night, he went to work Friday morning in New Haven in a Chapel color had not been employed for over six years. He redeemed their good name with the firm, got more salary, and took a service, enjoyed the respect of every one of the two hundred employees. The firm has been placing colored men as watchmen and in other positions ever "He possesses a capacity for business and all that goes to make a successful minister." —George Cook, University Secretary of Howard University. "He is one of the best men for the training and education of troopers, know." —Ed Willis, Jefferson, Ky. ( prior to entering Howard, Mr. Wolfson owned twelve undefeated standard breed and registered breeds. He is the most competent man I ever knew." —Adolph Mendel. "He is possessed of a great deal of knowledge and agreeable under all circumstances; besides, he understands folks, has a splendid education—a man capable of doing honor to himself and serve." —Cearl Mears, attorney at law. He will make any church a safe pastor. I have known him for twenty years." —C. D. Patterson, University Prinity Baptist church. Brooklyn. These could be multiplied, but feel they are sufficient to stamp him as qiqutu he qiunqao sanzaoidxopas praxu paw sapis jum jum u sxuqo has kept faith strong and life pure, with character staple and fixed. To my mind he is the most practical, conservative young man of promise, who has achieved the highest of achievement he in the fact of his humble, unassuming nature. To see him is not to know him; to know him is not to know which contact you will come to know him as a friend. He loves and believes in the possibility of his people. Non-justify to know him, but with the downroden and the lowly, to help them. AUTOMOBILE INSTRUCTION, $15 practical (not book taught) instruction driving a License secured. Easy pay- ments.

I cannot comely upon this noble character and present it, I have simply indicated a partial outline of him, as a man, as a Christian, as a scholar, as a theologian. He is unmellus, kind, possessing constant, consistent, consistent, uses best judgment, and inspiring. Possessing in the degree he does these qualities, I do not hesitate to predict for this young prophet works, urging men to go forward in the great battle of life with a song in their hearts, each to do his full duty, whether an office or as a private in the household, whatever bed, whether the heavens fall or the earth melt away, whether we see the victory or die in the conflict, that "the Lord of hosts is our refuge," that the God of Jacob is our refuge.
